My profound thanks to you Joe Cannon. Way back in January 2013 I believe I learned of Anatabloc from your website here. My 14 year-old daughter has autism and at the time was experiencing terrible behavioral problems. I’ve been closely following the research into potential treatments – I’m a PubMed junkie – and was looking for a safe anti-inflammatory for her. There’s a lot of sham charlatan doctors out there peddling “so called” treatments to “recover” your child – I DO NOT use them.
The effect of the Anatabloc on Rosie’s behavior was nothing short of incredible.
It’s sad and disturbing to read what people, in their ignorance have posted here. Dr. Michael Mullan, the scientist behind Anatabloc partnered with a businessman to help him launch a product that would help finance his research for a cure for Alzheimer’s. He is by NO MEANS a “snake oil” salesman! As I slowly titrated Rosie to a higher dose, I was able to eliminate the atypical anti-psychotic she was taking for aggression.
A-typical antipsychotics are one of the most PROFITABLE drug categories that big pharma has currently in their arsenal. Their long term use hold dangerous risks – and they’re being prescribed to kids with autism at the age of even 5 years-old!!! The entire category is considered one of the most “OVER-prescribed” out there.
It terrifies me to read here how the effectiveness of Anatabloc “wore-off” for some people. So far, knock on anything-you-want, this has not been the case in over a year on Anatabloc for Rosie. I’ve kept detailed charts to track her progress thus far.
But now the FDA has pressured Rock Creek to suspend sales and just the other day (9/12/2014) announced they consider anatabine citrate the main ingredient in Anatabloc to be a drug. This is VERY inconsistent.
Anatabine is a naturally occurring alkaloid – you can’t patent it! Now I need to find other families who have found success and ask them to send a letter or email to the FDA to ask them to give Anatabloc an IND – (Investigational New Drug) “Compassionate Use” label so we can have continued access to it. Any help anyone here can provide me to reach out to these families would be greatly appreciated.
Again, my profound thanks Joe!
p.s. just so we’re clear – Anatabloc is no miracle cure for autism, Rosie still has great challenges with anxiety, OCD and verbal communications.
